Chevening 2017/2018 Essay on Leadership
Hi, would appreciate some feedbacks on my essay for my Chevening application. Much thanks in advance!
"Be the change you wish to see in the world" was Mahatma Gandhi's saying during the independence of India in 1947. A good leader is able to send out positive vibrations that is able to shift a person's frequency to a positive note in which the resonance will invariably be passed on to the next person. A good leader has the trust of his people. Trust is that one powerful word that forms the adhesive bond between a leader and his people as Mahatma Gandhi had with his people.
Good leaders are not those who lead by imposing force and demand on his people. A good leader leads by guiding and showing people admirable actions stipulated based on their pure intentions for the betterment of others. A leader does not always have to be someone at the top, it can be anyone even a small child, as long as s/he depicts admirable actions worthy of emulation which gives impact to the world, even by the smallest action.
As a relationship manager ("RM") at a humble local bank in the centre of the town amidst other giant Banks, I was often told by my boss that I am my own Chief Executive Officers ("CEO"). This entails my own management of portfolio of Customers and how I handle them. Each Customer requires customized ways of handling as they each have a different background history and different story lines. My line of profession taught me to always be readily updated on the latest news and ongoing events and market trends as the creative solutions provider to each Customer which vary from case to case basis, flexing them in accordance to their nature of business and their requirements and how they fit into the picture in the current market. This enables me to understand the essentials of the businesses' modus operandi and what drives them to bloom. As a solutions provider, I feel the need to help my Customers solve their business dilemmas in order for them to grow which circuitously injects into the growth of the development of the country. I find this personally satisfying, to be able to bring about a change.
On a more personal note and objective of being a social entrepreneur, I feel the need to invest, contribute and help more people in need out there, to change and to move forward unfaltering in leaving my footsteps behind for others to follow and finally walk beside me and eventually leaving behind footsteps together, so more will be encouraged to join the journey. I dream BIG and it is time for a BIG change.
